Deal Alert / Tom Petty: An American Treasure 4CD deluxe box set

Superb price right now in the UK for the four-CD edition of the Tom PettyAn American Treasure anthology.
This deluxe set is due out in a couple of weeks and features over 60 tracks across the four CDs, with each disc devoted to a different decade. It comes with a 52-page booklet, with sleeve notes by Bud Scoppa (which feature new interviews with Petty’s bandmates and family). You can see from the image below that this deluxe set looks like a great physical package.

It’s just £16.99 right now via Amazon UK (down from £25) and only £3 more than the two-CD edition! For US fans, with VAT deducted, the price comes in at around $19. If order direct from Amazon US, you pay £36, so there are some savings to be made there.

Tom Petty: An American Treasure will be released on 28 September 2018.

4cd set arrived today, unfortunately the glue used to secure the inside extensive booklet to the outside cover us either faulty or under used as the cover came away immediately when opening.
The music’s great though.

For the US (at least) Amazon.co.uk subtracts the VAT (20%) and charges £3.08 shipping. In this case: £16.99 minus £2.83 (£14.16 x 0.2) = £14.16
At check out they give you the option of paying in pounds or dollars (at a slightly inflated exchange rate – about 3.5%). My visa card has the facilty to pay in foreign currencies with no fees, so I choose the sterling option at check out.
This Petty set cost me US$22.74 delivered compared to $36.49(+tax) on Amazon.com.
Thank goodness there is still competition in the UK market:here in the USA, Amazon have wiped out their competitors.

I have noticed that my amazon pre-order for this has now reduced in price, which is good.
I thought I was going to have to cancel it to then re-order.
Looks like a good deal to me ( but note now under free post threshold)
Cheers

Mad Earwig, not 100% sure if its still the case, but if a reduction in price on a pre-order takes it under the free shipping threshold, I think that you still get the free shipping as long as when you placed the order the value of the order was above the free shipping threshold.
